NEW YORK -- Center Brook Lopez has broken a bone in his right foot again, leaving the Brooklyn Nets without their leading scorer as they try to turn around a disappointing season.

The team said Saturday that Lopez was hurt during its 121-120 overtime loss at Philadelphia on Friday. The Nets said they would issue another update next week after consultation with their doctors.

Lopez had the same injury, a fractured fifth metatarsal, when he was limited to five games in the 2011-12 season. He underwent surgery following last season to replace a bent screw in the foot.

Lopez is averaging 20.7 points and 6.0 rebounds in 17 games. He has missed nine games with a sprained left ankle.

Though was no indication he was seriously injured Friday, when he played 44 minutes.

The 7-footer from Stanford didn't miss a game during his first three seasons in the NBA, but hasn't made it through a full season since. He missed seven games last season when he sprained the same foot. The Nets are just 9-17 after entering the season with huge expectations.
